E-Fests (Engineering Festivals) are a series of three-day, two-night events that enable engineering students to expand their knowledge, test and showcase new skills and become immersed in innovation. Focused on digital product design, advanced manufacturing and robotics technology, E-Fests was developed to inspire and prepare the next generation of engineers and technology professionals. Siemens is an exclusive sponsor of the Innovative Additive Manufacturing 3D Challenge (IAM3D) – one of the E-fest Competitions – and is providing its Solid Edge® software for computer-aided design (CAD) to students at no cost for use within all ASME competitions.

Siemens is sponsoring theIAM3D competition, where students will use additive manufacturing to create new products or re-engineer existing products in order to minimize energy consumption and/or improve energy efficiency.
